Immanuel's Mission
Statement:
"Through
Word and Sacrament ministry we share the love, joy, and peace of Jesus
Christ
among ourselves and with those around us."
More than 60 million Christians in the
world today call themselves "Lutheran." Despite their common name,
there are many different kinds of Lutheran churches across the globe. Even
though all Lutheran church bodies trace their origins to the Reformation led
by Dr. Martin Luther in the 16th century, beliefs and practices among
Lutherans today vary considerably.
In America, most Lutherans are divided among the three largest
Lutheran organizations (which are known as "synods"). Immanuel Lutheran Church
is a member congregation of the
Lutheran Church-Missouri
Synod (LCMS). The LCMS, with more than 2.5 million
members, is the second largest synod in America. Our participation in the LCMS is based upon the core values and beliefs that we
have in common with over 6,000
other LCMS congregations in America.
